hkd51 Posted March 21, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 21, 2009 My front brake pads seem to be glued onto the callipers to preventing them from rattling. Is this in fact glue or maybe hi temp silicone? I want to change the pads and need to know what to use. Any ideas? Thanks Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usnmustang Posted March 21, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 21, 2009 The stuff is called brake disc quiet. A small amount usually accompanies a new set of pads, but you can buy it at any auto parts place. Comes in a 4 oz tube, orange in color. Directions may vary, but basically you put a layer on, let dry 10 min, then install pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squidley Posted March 21, 2009 Share #5 Posted March 21, 2009 It's not necessarily a glue, but a coating that keeps the metal to metal contact from not happening. This helps in the brake pads not chattering and sqealing when you apply the brakes. I use this product http://www.crcindustries.com/ei/content/prod_detail.aspx?PN=05017&S=Y you spray it on the back of the brake pads and let it tack up and install the brakes. This is what might be on there. I use this on every brake application that I do ccle or auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hkd51 Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted March 21, 2009 I have used a brake pad lubricant on my cars in the past to stop the squealing. The product used previously on my brakes was also meant to hold the pads against the calipers to stop them from rattling. I know this because while inspecting the pads last summer I managed to break the pad away from the caliper so that it rattled the rest to the summer ...dove me nuts:starz: Thanks for your replys Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
